Shen Shixing stayed in Lao Zhu's camp for a month and a half, and it was not until the end of December that he finally decided to end his observation and return to the imperial court. During this period, he was extremely interested in the large number of systems that Lao Zhu had made, and pestered Lao Zhu every night to ask questions and questions, Zhu was annoyed, but he was helpless, who made him the first assistant of the court?

The mental outlook of the sergeants has changed dramatically. It all lies in the fact that Lao Zhu introduced the so-called competition mechanism: those who did not train up to standard in the morning, ran slowly, and made mistakes, not only confinement, but also let them announce their mistakes in public at the end of the meeting summary.

Everyone is a man, how can there be face!

And those who do well will get a silver reward in addition to the extra meal. It's unbearable! Everyone also trains hard, if you don't do well, you won't have anything to eat, and if you do well, you still have money to get! As a direct result, some people maliciously fought regardless of their physical conditions during training, and as a result, there were many injuries.

In this case, Zhu Yidao often invited some famous doctors in Beijing to diagnose and treat them, and the cost was deducted by Lao Zhu from the military expenses. Jiang Fei was extremely opposed to such behavior, and quarreled with him many times: these people were completely to blame for their injuries! Why do you want to use the already pitiful amount of public funds to treat them?!

If you don't treat them as human beings, why should they fight for you? Zhu Yidao asked rhetorically.

Jiang Fei was stuck in the shell at once: "...... But it's not a long-term solution! ”

"If you are injured, you don't give them diagnosis and treatment, and letting them live or die is a long-term solution?!" Lao Zhu was furious. "I told you when I was in Queshan that we must ensure their military salaries and medical care, don't you understand it until now? Do you think it's a simple way to buy people's hearts? If you were them, or if I didn't care about your life or death now, and threw it out directly if I was injured, would you be cold? Will others be chilled? In the long run, who else will fight in peace ?! ”

Jiang Fei still couldn't accept it for a while. In his thinking, these people were born to die for the emperor, and even if they died, it was nothing, let alone injured. But in Lao Zhu's eyes, these people can work so hard for a few taels of silver, and they should be relieved of their worries and let them focus more on fighting and training.

Zhu Yidao slowed down his tone: "I know, you don't think it's okay for them to be injured, but you have to know that in their hearts, you are their God!" You're their allegiance! In their eyes, the emperor is just a god on the stage, who can only bow and worship, but he can't save their lives, let alone let them eat and drink! But you can! When they are hurt, they will hope that you will let them live; When they die, they wish you could bury their bodies in your hometown! Not because of anything else, but because you are their thousand households, their heads! With great power comes great responsibility! On your shoulders, you carry the life and death of these 5,000 brothers! Their life and death are all in your thoughts! Think for yourself! After speaking, Lao Zhu walked out angrily, leaving Jiang Fei alone in a daze, and Shen Shixing, who had been eavesdropping behind the screen.

With great power comes great responsibility...... It seems that he has heard this say before, Shen Shixing recalled it hard, and he finally remembered that when Yan Song was still the first assistant, Zhang Juzheng said to Gao Gong, we are staked on the fate of millions of living beings in the Ming Dynasty!

This Zhu Yidao is very interesting! Go back and report to the emperor!

Jiang Fei was stunned for a long time, he had been in charge of Qianhu for many years, but he had never thought about these things. When I was a soldier, I didn't fight anything, but the number of brothers around me has been decreasing. Every time the situation changes, or goes out to spy on the military situation, there are a few fewer people. Everyone is numb.

When I heard that someone was gone, I was only stunned for a moment at most, and then I remembered that person, but my memory was blurry, and I couldn't even remember what he looked like. He has never led these soldiers seriously, and most of his subordinates are lieutenant generals such as general banners and small banners.

Could it be that he led soldiers with a knife? Otherwise, how could there be such an idea. Jiang Fei thought unconvinced.

Shen Shixing behind him sighed a little, Zhu Yidao had a lot of general demeanor when he led the troops, and he definitely didn't look like a Qiu Ba when talking to him, and his vision and thoughts were often different from ordinary people...... Wasn't Qi Jiguang the same back then, no matter how much he was pressed and degraded, he could still live a good life. On the other hand, he has been in the imperial court and the cabinet for many years, and some high-ranking officials have been killed or demoted, and very few of them can live to a good death.

During this period, the results of the military reform have slowly begun to appear. The barracks are no longer lifeless, but full of energy and hope. Every day, under the leadership of the officer, the sergeants train and live very regularly, and the air is also full of tension and depression. Zhu Yidao can adjust very well, when the training is already very tired and hard, he will encourage the officers to lead the sergeants to do some very interesting games, whether it is the so-called tug-of-war competition or rope skipping competition, which greatly relieves everyone's pressure. At night, the physically and mentally exhausted sergeants, who had been tossed, fell asleep on their beds. In the midst of this process, the revolt to reform that Shen Shixing imagined did not unexpectedly appear.

Some systems and policies have been well implemented, for example, the assistant of Rausch, who accompanies the sergeants every day, eats, trains, sleeps together, and when they want to be discouraged and want to give up, the assistant will be around to encourage them and motivate them in various ways; At the beginning and end of the training, there will be a report and summary of everyone's performance. At first, everyone was a little unaccustomed, and the assistants often laughed when they spoke, but slowly, no matter who had any matter, whether it was private or official, they would try to discuss it with them; The assistants also made mistakes and jokes at the beginning, but as they got better, they became more and more experienced, and under the careful teaching of Lao Zhu from time to time, they became regular little by little.

The most interesting thing is the small flag selection system. Each of the flags has twenty-four people, and one person is to be chosen from among them to be their head, that is, the flags. This person must be voted on by everyone, but people can nominate themselves before voting, and if you think you are suitable for this position, then you must explain to everyone how you will be managed and how you will be done when you are elected. If people agree with you, then they will vote for you; If you don't deliver on your promise when you're elected, then I'm sorry, you're going to be defeated in next week's election. This made some ambitious veterans extremely excited, they worked hard for half their lives, they did not have much interest in gold and silver, and they left the barracks and did not know what to do, in order to get the appreciation of their superiors and the approval of the brothers below.

In this way, the most lively time is when the policy declaration is issued. Those self-recommenders spat on the stage, "Please vote for my sacred vote", which made Shen Shixing always feel very weird, but he still felt very fresh. Especially when the final winner was extremely excited and excited, the audience screamed.

Compared with the newly appointed small flags, the initiative of the work is simply incomparable. Shen Shixing couldn't believe his eyes, this is the power of the system? Lao Zhu told him that in fact, everyone has a strong sense of freshness, and because of competition, people will find it interesting. For example, if you get something without much effort, you will definitely not cherish it and will not care; But if you put a lot of effort into getting it, you will definitely cherish it and love it immensely. Shen Shixing nodded thoughtfully, what he said was true. Just like the position of the first assistant, countless people want to get it, but there can always be only one person, when the lucky person paid a huge price to get to the position of the first assistant, he felt how hard-won he was today!

But compared to these, what shocked Shen Shixing the most was that Zhu Yidao actually encouraged everyone to cut off more heads when fighting! Take heads for meritorious deeds! If you can cut down fifty heads in one battle, then you're a little flag! Where is this reform, it is clearly a retrogression! He angrily found Zhu Yidao and strongly expressed his dissatisfaction and anger. Lao Zhu calmly told him that rewards were not the goal, and it was not the Qin Dynasty now. The point is that this kind of military merit system can stimulate the blood of the sergeant! It is not terrible for a person to have blood, but it is terrible for a group of soldiers who have undergone systematic training to have blood! This kind of bloodiness can even turn the crisis of the situation under special conditions. Lao Zhu told Shen Shixing, have you ever thought about it, when the Tumu Fort was in the past, if the whole army could defend the emperor to the death and decided to fight to the death, how could a mere 10,000 Mongols win the battle? It's a pity, it's a pity, as soon as the news of the Mongol army surrounding them came from the front, they immediately lost their fighting spirit, and the first thing that hundreds of thousands of troops thought of was to escape. How can Tumubao be undefeated?

This is not simply a question of generals, nor is it a question of soldiers. But the soldiers are bearish, and they will be bears. These 5,000 people, do you know who will be promoted in the future? These 5,000 people are the seeds of my Ming official army! As long as they are dispersed to the entire Ming army in the future, the shame of Tumubao will definitely not reappear! Listening to Zhu Yidao's unheard of statement, Shen Shixing was silent again. What he said made a lot of sense, but it was hard to realize, but this man definitely saw farther than himself.

Have you ever thought that these so-called reforms of yours will set off huge waves in my Ming Dynasty? Shen Shixing asked Zhu Yidao slowly, and his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

I thought about it, but I don't care, if someone can point to my nose and criticize these reforms as useless, proof that people have started to think, that's enough. A strange smile appeared on Zhu Yidao's face.
